Famous quotes containing the words prisoner and/or exchange:
“We are no more free agents than the queen of clubs when she victoriously takes prisoner the knave of hearts.”

“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
